Hi, any opinion on these US PROOFs? If these are real, I wonder what the SV is.

Look good to me. Catalog value would depend on whether they are on card stock or India paper. If they are on card then probably a CV around $8 - $10 each

The impressions really don't look sharp enough to me, I wonder if these are photos of proofs? The color density does not look right either.

Source data on this image indicates it is a current ebay lot, #390554947730, from a seller in Spain. In the listing, the view of the back(s) suggests they are genuine, at first glance.

Lot of marvelous modern color reproductions out there these days and not all of them are noted as such. Can't tell from the picture.
